What is True Love? Anger (part one)

We all know what it is like to be angry. We know what it is like for someone to be angry with us. The question some have, might be, is can anger ever be justified?

The short answer is yes. But take a look at the fact that Jesus himself could be angry.

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all of that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves. And said unto them, "It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves." John 2:14-16

Anger in itself is not a sin. It is what we do with it that is. The bible says also says this: God is slow to anger, abounding in love." Psalm 86:15

But then he is God. He has the right to be angry at times. Right?

Well, yes that is right. But in James 1:19-20 it says this: "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak and show to wrath. for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."

And Paul tells us not to let the sun goes down on our anger. Ephesians 4:26.

Yes, there is such a thing as righteous anger. Anger is an emotion just like any other one. And there is room for it even in the lives of Christians. But again, it is what we do with it that can be sin. How we respond to it that can be sin.

And when we do sin, we have only to go to God to ask for his forgiveness. Always being angry as we know there are people that are and that is very destructive in their lives and it can impact the lives of anyone that is around them.

Better to get over our anger as quickly as possible, even if that means we have to get help with it, then live in it day in and day out and being miserable. Life is too short for that kind of life.

( I can't wait for that day! Do you have ears to hear?)

Hi Friends. Did you know there a deeper meaning to that day when Jesus had driven the money changers out of the temple? And what were money changers anyway? In reading about these scriptures during the time I have been putting this post together today, I ran across some interesting things about it and thought that I may share them with you tomorrow. As always, I will be here asap but hopefully by 10 pm. In these days, I am never sure how it will turn out for these summer months. But I will try my best everyday. Thanks so much for your patience and God bless your day!
